WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Paul Stastny was asked Monday what he remembered most about last season’s Western Conference Final between the Golden Knights and Winnipeg Jets.
“Reavo’s goal,” said Stastny, who played for the Jets in the series.
Stastny’s memory certainly was aided by Knights winger Ryan Reaves whispering, “Say my goal, say my goal,” into his ear during the media scrum.
But the fact is, Reaves’ second-period goal that held up as the Game 5 clincher remains one of the most indelible moments in Knights’ team history.
“Obviously it was a really fun series, especially me being from here,” said Reaves, a Winnipeg native.
